January 1 - February 1 Adventures

It has been a great first month of the new 2015 year. Jason and I had our 4th anniversary on January 7th and I am still so blessed to be married to such a wonderful man!

After a nice long Christmas break, Jason and Austin started back up with school on January 12th and Austin moved up to the transition class (ages 2.5 to 3). The transition class prepares the kiddos for preschool (starting at age three) for which they must be potty-trained, therefore guess what we have been working on! Thankfully we have many pairs of underwear to handle the 3-5 undie changes we go through nearly every day. Austin (with the help of chocolate and other treats) is learning fairly quickly how to go in the toilet. 

Happy Easter 2014!

Happy Easter to everyone! I love having holidays that serve as reminders of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and am grateful to know that he has been resurrected and has made it possible for each of us to be resurrected too. I also love that holidays give us the opportunity to spend time with family. This year our Easter weekend with family was split into two distinct parts.

Happy Birthday Cami!

In the midst of finishing up and finalizing my thesis, my husband and family managed to make my birthday the best one yet! I was able to NOT work on my thesis and instead take it easy, which was super refreshing given that I have been spending 8-12 hours per day working on my thesis, finishing up classwork, and preparing for seminar and conference presentations over the last couple of weeks.
